Windows 10 Virtual Secure Mode with David Hepkin

Extraordinary Robot

In this video I spent some time with David Hepkin, a member of the Windows engineering team working on Hyper-V, to get a better understanding of the Windows 10 Virtual Secure Mode. I've had the good fortune of learning a lot about Isolated User Mode with several folks in the kernel team. In this installment David describes how virtualization is helping facilitate these new features and describes how the hypervisor even helps protect against illegal memory access from rogue devices and drivers.
